Corey Anderson announces International Retirement !!

-

NZ's Top All Rounder, Corey Anderson has announced his retirement from International Cricket. Aged 29, why has he announced his retirement from International cricket ? Many all rounders in this world, face the issue of getting separated, as many newer cricketers continue to dominate in this competitive form of game. So developing skills, is the most important asset to survive. Corey Anderson's case is the same as many.

He holds the record of scoring fastest century in ODI, overtaking Shahid Afridi's record in just 1 ball. He has been a phenomenal left arm medium fast bowler. He has picked up 60 wickets in 49 ODI matches along with 16 wickets in 13 test matches. He has also scored 2000+ runs in International cricket. In his 6 years of career span, these numbers are not so encouraging. Also, in his career, after 2015 Cricket World Cup, he was seen going under a tough downtrodden period. In this downtrodden, he was lacking variation in his bowling and also started getting obese. NZ Cricket team has dropped him after 2018.

Cricketers like Irfan Pathan, RP Singh, James Faulkner etc faced same set of problems. They were like a pole star during their early face of career. But after started to face slight slump, they can't able to rise up, as they didn't worked much on variations. So, after facing hardships, he finally announced his retirement from International Cricket. 


Corey Anderson said that "It's been a huge honor and extremely proud to represent New Zealand. I would have loved to have achieved and played more but just is what it is sometimes, and different opportunities arise and send you in a direction you never thought would be a possibility. Very appreciative for everything that NZC has done for me".

Also, he has planned to play at Major League Cricket in United States of America. As the development of cricket progressing in America, many cricketers have started to place their names in Major League Cricket ( MLC ). Sami Aslam, has been on such young batsman from Pakistan Cricket team, has shifted his base To USA. Even Ali Khan, CPL fame, is from Cricket USA. So, after these two, now Corey Anderson has decided to feature himself in this T20 league, which will commence from 2022. 

Explaining his decision, he said that it is better to use opportunity, as what would I be expected to do in cricket after 5 years or 10 years. Also, his wife, who was born and raised in USA, has sacrificed some much for his cricket and also adapted well in New Zealand. Now, adjustment is made both for him and her. Also stating the development of cricket in USA, it would be perfect for serving his rest of career.

He made his T20I debut in 2007, ODI and test debuts in 2009. His career is so short span but in this small period he made some impeccable performances which the England cricket would never forget. He has been named as ICC Cricketer of the Year Award and ECB Cricketer of the Year Award in the year 2011. He was also awarded Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 2011. While seeing his technique, he is something different from other English Batsmen, who both technically and mentally. He was a proper top order batsman, who instead of hitting hard and smashing for huge sixes, he plays calm and fine, with much elegance for four. He doesn't seem to hit the ball so hard. Sometimes, he even pushes the ball for a boundary. A strong batsman in Leg Side, and played orthodox cricket in his entire career. He is al...
